MUNICIPALITY: HAVE YOUR SAY
Comment on billHave your say on the City of
CapeTown’s newdraftMunic-ipal Planning Bylaw.
The proposed draft suggestschanges to the property, planningand development environment inCape Town.It also proposes a tougher ap-
proach to enforcement of land use,building and development regula-tions andwill have an impact on theCity’s own human settlements pro-grammes. The proposed draftmakes provision for emergencyhousing needs resulting from disas-ters such as fires and floods.Belinda Walker, the City’s acting
Maycomember for Economic, Envi-ronmental and Spatial Planning,says: “The planning environmenthas been known to be legislativelyfragmented. This has led to the du-plication of procedures not condu-cive to the enabling environmentfor opportunity and growth that wewant to create in partnership withthe private sector and the broadermembers of the public,” says Walk-er.Now that the Spatial Planning
and Land Use Management Act(Spluma) and the Land Use Plan-ning Act have been adopted, she
says, the City is leading the way in“ensuring that our municipal plan-ning aligns with the new nationaland provisional planning legisla-tion”.Walker says there have been a
number of judgments which havebeen helpful in clarifying the rolesof provincial andmunicipal author-ities in planning decisions. “Wewant to streamline procedures andminimise red tape and we are look-ing at ways to speed up applicationswhile at the same time ensuringthat everyone has a reasonable op-portunity to influence the process.”The City considers this project to
be a critical legislative interventionas it will determine the decision-making framework for future mu-nicipal planning, as well as set therequired procedures to apply forplanning approvals. The public istherefore encouraged to participateat this early stage.This draft bylawwill give effect to
the municipal planning function al-located tomunicipalities in terms ofPart B of Schedule 4 of the Constitu-tion.The draft bylaw is required to
comply with certain requirementsset in the Spatial Planning andLand
Use Management Act no. 16 of 2013which was assented to on 5 August2013, and the LandUse PlanningActwhich was assented to on 31 March2014 – both of which are expected tocome into effect during the year atthe national and provincial spheresrespectively.Comments, input or recommen-
dations in respect of the draft Mu-nicipal Planning Bylaw can be sub-mitted by fax to 086 201 2775 for at-tention of Rossouw Smit; email [email protected], writtensubmission posted to the RossouwSmit at the Planning and BuildingDevelopment Management Depart-ment, PO Box 4511, City of CapeTown, 8000; or online at http://plan-ning.capetown.gov.za.

WYNBERG: FLAT COMPLEX ARREARS LEAD TO CUT OFF
Water billleaves themhigh and dryMONIQUE DUVAL
@monique_duval
Water is life, but for a group of Wyn-berg residents water is very scarce.Residents living in Ner NurMan-
sions say they have been without water foralmost two weeks due to an unpaid waterbill.One resident, speaking on condition of
anonymity, says their concerns have fallenon deaf ears as they have been unable to getanswers from the body corporate or proper-ty management company.She says they have been unable to bath
or use the toilet making living conditionsdifficult.“We really don’t know what to do any
more and many have bought water, but itis expensive,” she says.Residents are concerned about the health
and hygiene of their children as the lack ofwater has seen drinking water being re-stricted and many of them have not takena bath in several days.The resident says theywere informed the
blockowes theCity ofCapeTownmore thanR400 000 in unpaid service bills.“And so they cut off the water. Now, be-
cause we are desperate, one of the residentsopened the water main illegally,” she says.Residents have now filledwater canisters
and close the water main during the day,but are scared they will be caught.Another resident who has lived in the
block for more than four years says the wa-ter being cut is a regular occurrence.“This has happened before and we have
struggled to get a response from the proper-ty company. We can’t go on like this anymore,” he says.Mayoral Committee member for Finance
Ian Neilson confirms the water supply tothe complex was restricted on Friday 4April due to the non-payment of arrears.“The arrears was accumulated subse-
quent to the property changing ownership.It was not inherited,” he explains.“The current balance on the account is
R489 456, including the current debt. Thesplit of the arrears is as follows: R226 865 forwater; R183 632 for sewerage; R77 191 for in-terest; and R1766 for collection charges.”Neilson also says there is a history of debt
management actions such as restrictionsagainst the property which resulted in par-tial payment and commitments to settle the
debt through agreed payment arrange-ments.“The recent payment arrangement was
entered intowith the newly appointedman-aging agent which has since been defaultedon, thus the action to restrict the service,”Neilson says. “The account has now beenhanded over for legal action.”Mayoral Committee member for Utility
Services Ernest Sonnenberg says the waterflow to the complex has been reduced to atrickle. “It was not cut off completely. Astandpipe was installed within 100m of theproperty, as per the City’s policy. This al-lows the tenants to have access to water asneeded,” he explains.
“There is one meter which supplies wa-ter to the property. The owner must makean arrangement to pay off the account withthe City’s Revenue Department for the wa-ter supply to be restored to full flow. Theowner has enquired as to what require-ments must be met before a payment ar-rangement can be made.”People’s Post sent a query to the complex
Body Corporate, but they failed to respondat the time of going to print.V Share your thoughts. Starting with the word “Post”SMS your comments to 32516. SMSes cost R1.

Super League A race heats upLIAM MOSES
@LiamCPT
Hamiltons RFC will resume their chargefor silverware when they face Prim-rose in a crunch Super League A clash
at the Stephen Oval this weekend.Hammies came within touching distance
of a trophy with a third place finish in theCommunity Cup earlier this year and havestarted the league like a side intent on goingthe full distance this time.
The Sea Point side have claimed full
points in both their outings so far, beatingthird-placed Victorians 31-28 and thrashingbasement dwellers Kuilsriver 38-21 lastweekend.
South Africa’s oldest club will be keen tomake it three from three this weekend, whilePrimrose will hope to rediscover the formthat saw them dominate Super League B lastyear.
The Kenilworth club have been undone bya leaky defence and are 10th on the table, af-ter recording just one win, a draw and twolosses this season.
Roses beat Tygerberg 16-15, lost 22-27 toHelderberg, drew 35-35 with Victorians andwent down 11-49 to UCT.
Hammies should be too strong for Prim-rose and will likely walk away with a com-prehensive win.
Constantia side False Bay will also be inaction on Saturday, travelling north to faceDurbanville-Bellville.
Bay are placed fourth on the log, with 16points gleaned from three wins in fivegames. The victories came against SK Walm-ers, Kuils River and Belhar, while the losses
were suffered to Stellenbosch Universitysides Victorians and Maties. Their oppo-nents have beaten UWC 36-3, lost 12-17 to Ma-ties and pummelled Tygerberg 54-17.
False Bay are inclined to play a widergame and could have too much firepower forDurb-Bell, if they can match the hosts’ physi-cality and the rain stays away.
But with Durbies just three places belowand keen to restore their challenge for a spotin the Community Cup and the SuperLeague A title, False Bay can expect an on-slaught.
